Fox: The Complete Series (4 Discs) £13.00 Dlivered
Fox: The Complete Series (4 Discs)
Fox is writer Trevor Preston`s magnum opus about a South London family who have lived in the Clapham area for generation. A microcosm of London and the way it has changed, the series follows the ups and downs and conflicts within a family with a mixture of benevolence and despotism, "King" Billy (Peter Vaughan) is a retired Convent Garden porter, and his family consists of his second wife, Connie and five sons: Vin (Bernard Hill), Ray (Derek O`Connor), Joey (Larry Lamb), Kenny (Ray Winstone) and Phil (Eammon Boland).
Written and directed on a scale which is seldom attempted on television nowadays, each of the thirteen episodes brings a depth and richness to both the characters and situation - from Billy`s 70th birthday to Kenny`s` horror at accidentally killing his boxing opponent, from Vin trying to cope with a deaf son to Ray`s brushes with the law. The script, direction and acting are pitch-perfect and this is arguably the best, most involving series that Euston Films produced throughout its twenty years.

| Another superb series from the past. Grouty from porridge gives an excellent performance. |
